Tvpaint 12 floating menus & cintiq pen problem

[BrownBear]

Hi

There is a problem with Tvpaint 12.
When I try to use my cintiq 24 pro(for drawing) and external monitor for timeline/layer/libruary....
The problem here is when I toggle my wacom pen to be on the external monitor, then I am not able to control/interact with the menus, with my wacom pen. BUT it is possible with af mouse. Strange.
I have tested it on windows 10 pro and 11 pro. Same issue there.

Any idea how to fixe this?
Hope this will be solved soon.

Best regards
R

i have the same issue.
It undercuts the advantage of have floating panels.

Yes i agree.
Unfortunately I am not able to use the floating windows in my workflow, if I can´t interact with my wacom pen

Hello BrownBear and Peter,
Did your stylus come back to your Cintiq screen when you try to toggle your wacom pen on another screen ? or dis your stylus stay on the other screen but can't interact with menus ?

Hi Léo
My stylus toggles perfectly between my cintiq and the second monitor.
When I move my stylus into the area of a floating window, lets say the timeline, on the second monitor, the icon changes from arrow to point(like when drawing) and then I am not able to interact with the floating window(move it. choose layers etc.)
But, there is no problem, when using a normal mouse....

I can toggle the cursor between screens and interact with other apps.
But as soon as i try to interact with a tvpaint panel that is not on the cintiq the cursor immediately jumps back to the tvpaint interface on the cintiq

This is an issue that I have requested many times in private conversations, but to this day,
there has been no understanding. I request that this be resolved as soon as possible.

This issue has been identified, I reproduced it yesterday. Our devs will look at it as soon as possible.
Thank you for your feedback !
